I have not, but I'm really pretty sure the motor is not tilted any differently.

Edit: Now this is just words off of the internet, but it comes from Nando and it's about an iX so it's likely correct. Here's the quote from e30tech

I believe all M20s are clocked at 20 degrees (it's not just chance that you got that, that is actually the angle BMW chose). The M50 I think might be 30 degrees - I knew at one point, but I don't remember right now.

I don't think the ix is clocked differently. I do think the engine sits closer to the firewall than a RWD E30.

Here's the link to the thread: i vs iX angle

Maybe this is why the headers rub. I'm sticking by my story. Same angle.

Edit #2: Sorry for the thread jack, but someone was wrong on the internet…:ST1G:

^I don't think that's right.

Have you ever put headers or a RWD shift carrier in an ix and see what happens? Had a client in my shop not too long ago that did both (prior to us meeting) and wondered why his shifter was tilted, and his headers rubbed the frame ;)

Nice flange ;)

This should be good. A budget-oriented heavy duty manifold.

As far as ix, the engine is leaned over more than RWD (hence the ix booster working in 24v swaps).

^I don't think that's right.

isn't the strut tower different as well creating restrictions?

Any way to get one T4 and 38mm 2 bolt?

[88SuperETABD]

Thank you! Been waiting for this. Any chance of when you get the prototype if you can get the measurement of the flange to outter most pipe distance. and how far down pipes go from bottom of flange? If that makes sense. I plan to get a manifold for my m20b29 turbo build to replace this adapter i have And I would love to rock yours if it fits in a 2002.

Wow so much ix love here!

[Red_liner740]

Eta? I'm def interested if available by spring and ix compatible.

Curious as to why you say this? Is this referenced towards none twin scroll manifolds?

Equal length runners yield more gains in spool up time on a 4 cylinder.
Twin scroll manifolds will require 2 wastgates or one large one, which adds more cost and requires more space.

[IronFreak]

A/C and oil filter friendly for sure. Equal length is not that critical an a 6 cylinder.

Very interested. Subbed.

Is there a significant difference between the ix and standard models clearance wise?
What would interfere?

My Dan Pinder group buy manifold hit the original engine mount arm on my iX, and the WG provision that was added to fit a RWD car interfered slightly forward of the strut tower on the iX


Edit: I should mention that the Dan Pinder manifolds are what the CXracing/Ebay manifolds are copies of, so they don't fit the iX either.

[Good & Tight]

Very interested in this. Put me on the list once it get's started! (I'll keep my eyes posted on here, subbed.)

This would be going onto my 91 325iX - not expecting any fitment issues but do you know for sure if it'd fit? Anyone? Edit - Counted three other iX guys asking the same question.
